---

Zaporizhzhia City Children Botanical Garden in Zaporizhzhia, southeastern Ukraine, is a municipal botanical garden and children’s park established in 1958 and now included in the country’s nature reserve fund as a monument of landscape art.

It is located at 11 Charivna Street and combines roles as a public park, a living plant collection and an out‑of‑school educational center where schoolchildren join ecological and nature‑study clubs free of charge. The garden maintains open‑air plantings and several themed greenhouses, including a “Winter Garden” with tropical species, a cactus house, a citrus “Limonary” and a rosary with climbing, miniature and large‑flowered roses, giving visitors access to plants unusual for the local climate.

For families, it functions as a recreational space with themed play and photo areas, while also offering guided excursions, plant sales and basic consulting on indoor and outdoor greening, so it serves both as a community leisure spot and a site for environmental education focused on children and youth.
